DESCRIPTION
The operations puffs requires to function can be divided into two cate-
gories: file system callbacks and node callbacks. The former affect the
entire file system while the latter are targeted at a file or a directory
and a file. They are roughly equivalent to the vfs and vnode operations
in the kernel.
All callbacks can be prototyped with the file system name and operation
name using the macro PUFFSOP_PROTOS(fsname).
File system callbacks (puffs_fs)puffs_fs_statvfs(pu, sbp)
The following fields of the argument sbp need to be filled:
* unsigned long f_bsize; file system block size
* unsigned long f_frsize; fundamental file system block size
* fsblkcnt_t f_blocks; number of blocks in file system,
* (in units of f_frsize)
*
* fsblkcnt_t f_bfree; free blocks avail in file system
* fsblkcnt_t f_bavail; free blocks avail to non-root
* fsblkcnt_t f_bresvd; blocks reserved for root
* fsfilcnt_t f_files; total file nodes in file system
* fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; free file nodes in file system
* fsfilcnt_t f_favail; free file nodes avail to non-root
* fsfilcnt_t f_fresvd; file nodes reserved for root
puffs_fs_sync(pu, waitfor, pcr)
All the dirty buffers that have been cached at the file server
level including metadata should be committed to stable storage.
The waitfor parameter affects the operation. Possible values are:
MNT_WAIT Wait for all I/O for complete until returning.
MNT_NOWAIT Initiate I/O, but do not wait for completion.
MNT_LAZY Synchorize data not synchoronized by the file system
syncer, i.e. data not written when node_fsync() is
called with FSYNC_LAZY.
The credentials for the initiator of the sync operation are present
in pcr and will usually be either file system or kernel creden-
tials, but might also be user credentials. However, most of the
time it is advisable to sync regardless of the credentials of the
caller.
puffs_fs_fhtonode(pu, fid, fidsize, pni)
Translates a file handle fid to a node. The parameter fidsize
indicates how large the file handle is. In case the file system's
handles are static length, this parameter can be ignored as the
kernel guarantees all file handles passed to the file server are of
correct length. For dynamic length handles the field should be
examined and EINVAL returned in case the file handle length is not
correct.
This function provides essentially the same information to the ker-
nel as puffs_node_lookup(). The information is necessary for cre-
ating a new vnode corresponding to the file handle.
puffs_fs_nodetofh(pu, cookie, fid, fidsize)
Create a file handle from the node described by cookie. The file
handle should contain enough information to reliably identify the
node even after reboots and the pathname/inode being replaced by
another file. If this is not possible, it is up to the author of
the file system to act responsibly and decide if the file system
can support file handles at all.
For file systems which want dynamic length file handles, this func-
tion must check if the file handle space indicated by fidsize is
large enough to accommodate the file handle for the node. If not,
it must fill in the correct size and return E2BIG. In either case,
the handle length should be supplied to the kernel in fidsize.
File systems with static length handles can ignore the size parame-
ter as the kernel always supplies the correct size buffer.
puffs_fs_suspend(pu, status)
Called when file system suspension reaches various phases. See
puffs_suspend(3) for more information.
puffs_fs_unmount(pu, flags)
Unmount the file system. The kernel has assumedly flushed all
cached data when this callback is executed. If the file system
cannot currently be safely be unmounted, for whatever reason, the
kernel will honor an error value and not forcibly unmount. How-
ever, if the flag MNT_FORCE is not honored by the file server, the
kernel will forcibly unmount the file system.
Node callbacks
These operations operate in the level of individual files. The file
cookie is always provided as the second argument opc. If the operation
is for a file, it will be the cookie of the file. The case the operation
involves a directory (such as ``create file in directory''), the cookie
will be for the directory. Some operations take additional cookies to
describe the rest of the operands. The return value 0 signals success,
else an appropriate errno value should be returned. Please note that
neither this list nor the descriptions are complete.
puffs_node_lookup(pu, opc, pni, pcn)
This function is used to locate nodes, or in other words translate
pathname components to file system data structures. The implemen-
tation should match the name in pcn against the existing entries in
the directory provided by the cookie opc. If found, the cookie for
the located node should be set in pni using
puffs_newinfo_setcookie(). Additionally, the vnode type and size
(latter applicable to regular files only) should be set using
puffs_newinfo_setvtype() and puffs_newinfo_setsize(), respectively.
If the located entry is a block device or character device file,
the dev_t for the entry should be set using
puffs_newinfo_setrdev().
The type of operation is found from pcn->pcn_nameiop:
PUFFSLOOKUP_LOOKUP Normal lookup operation.
PUFFSLOOKUP_CREATE Lookup to create a node.
PUFFSLOOKUP_DELETE Lookup for node deletion.
PUFFSLOOKUP_RENAME Lookup for the target of a rename operation
(source will be looked up using
PUFFSLOOKUP_DELETE).
The final component from a pathname lookup usually requires special
treatment. It can be identified by looking at the pcn->pcn_flags
fields for the flag PUFFSLOOKUP_ISLASTCN. For example, in most
cases the lookup operation will want to check if a delete, rename
or create operation has enough credentials to perform the opera-
tion.
The return value 0 signals a found node and a nonzero value signals
an errno. As a special case, ENOENT signals "success" for cases
where the lookup operation is PUFFSLOOKUP_CREATE or
PUFFSLOOKUP_RENAME. Failure in these cases can be signalled by
returning another appropriate error code, for example EACCESS.
Usually a null-terminated string for the next pathname component is
provided in pcn->pcn_name. In case the file system is using the
option PUFFS_KFLAG_LOOKUP_FULLPNBUF, the remainder of the complete
pathname under lookup is found in the same location.
pcn->pcn_namelen always specifies the length of the next component.
If operating with a full path, the file system is allowed to con-
sume more than the next component's length in node lookup. This is
done by setting pcn->pcn_consume to indicate the amount of extra
characters in addition to pcn->pcn_namelen processed.
puffs_node_create(pu, opc, pni, pcn, va)
puffs_node_mkdir(pu, opc, pni, pcn, va)
puffs_node_mknod(pu, opc, pni, pcn, va)
A file node is created in the directory denoted by the cookie opc
by any of the above callbacks. The name of the new file can be
found from pcn and the attributes are specified by va and the
cookie for the newly created node should be set in pni. The only
difference between these three is that they create a regular file,
directory and device special file, respectively.
In case of mknod, the device identifier can be found in
va->va_rdev.
puffs_node_open(pu, opc, mode, pcr)
Open the node denoted by the cookie opc. The parameter mode speci-
fies the flags that open(2) was called with, e.g. O_APPEND and
O_NONBLOCK.
puffs_node_close(pu, opc, flags, pcr)
Close a node. The parameter flags parameter describes the flags
that the file was opened with.
puffs_node_access(pu, opc, mode, pcr)
Check if the credentials of pcr have the right to perform the oper-
ation specified by mode onto the node opc. The argument mode can
specify read, write or execute by PUFFS_VREAD, PUFFS_VWRITE, and
PUFFS_VEXEC, respectively.
puffs_node_getattr(pu, opc, va, pcr)
The attributes of the node specified by opc must be copied to the
space pointed by va.
puffs_node_setattr(pu, opc, va, pcr)
The attributes for the node specified by opc must be set to those
contained in va. Only fields of va which contain a value different
from PUFFS_VNOVAL (typecast to the field's type!) contain a valid
value.
puffs_node_poll(pu, opc, events)
Poll for events on node opc. If poll(2) events specified in events
are available, the function should set the bitmask to match avail-
able events and return immediately. Otherwise, the function should
block (yield) until some events in events become available and only
then set the events bitmask and return.
In case this function returns an error, POLLERR (or it's select(2)
equivalent) will be delivered to the calling process.
NOTE! The system call interface for poll() contains a timeout
parameter. At this level, however, the timeout is not supplied.
In case input does not arrive, the file system should periodically
unblock and return 0 new events to avoid hanging forever. This
will hopefully be better supported by libpuffs in the future.
puffs_node_mmap(pu, opc, flags, pcr)
Called when a regular file is being memory mapped by mmap(2).
flags is currently always 0.
puffs_node_fsync(pu, opc, pcr, flags, offlo, offhi)
Sychronize a node's contents onto stable storage. This is neces-
sary only if the file server caches some information before commit-
ting it. The parameter flags specifies the minimum level of
sychronization required (XXX: they are not yet available). The
parameters offlo and offhi specify the data offsets requiring to be
synced. A high offset of 0 means sync from offlo to the end of the
file.
puffs_node_seek(pu, opc, oldoff, newoff, pcr)
Test if the node opc is seekable to the location newoff. The argu-
ment oldoff specifies the offset we are starting the seek from.
Most file systems dealing only with regular will choose to not
implement this. However, it is useful for example in cases where
files are unseekable streams.
puffs_node_remove(pu, opc, targ, pcn)
puffs_node_rmdir(pu, opc, targ, pcn)
Remove the node targ from the directory indicated by opc. The
directory entry name to be removed is provided by pcn. The rmdir
operation removes only directories, while the remove operation
removes all other types except directories.
It is paramount to note that the file system may not remove the
node data structures at this point, only the directory entry and
prevent lookups from finding the node again. This is to retain the
UNIX open file semantics. The data may be removed only when
puffs_node_reclaim() is called for the node, as this assures there
are no further users.
puffs_node_link(pu, opc, targ, pcn)
Create a hard link for the node targ into the directory opc. The
argument pcn provides the directory entry name for the new link.
puffs_node_rename(pu, src_dir, src, pcn_src, targ_dir, targ, pcn_targ)
Rename the node src with the name specified by pcn_src from the
directory src_dir. The target directory and target name are given
by targ_dir and pcn_targ, respectively. If the target node already
exists, it is specified by targ and must be replaced atomically.
Otherwise targ is gives as NULL.
It is legal to replace a directory node by another directory node
with the means of rename if the target directory is empty, other-
wise ENOTEMPTY should be returned. All other types can replace all
other types. In case a rename between incompatible types is
attempted, the errors ENOTDIR or EISDIR should be returned, depend-
ing on the target type.
puffs_node_readdir(pu, opc, dent, readoff, reslen, pcr, eofflag, cookies,
ncookies)
To read directory entries, puffs_node_readdir() is called. It
should store directories as struct dirent in the space pointed to
by dent. The amount of space available is given by reslen and
before returning it should be set to the amount of space remaining
in the buffer. The argument offset is used to specify the offset
to the directory. Its intepretation is up to the file system and
it should be set to signal the continuation point when there is no
more room for the next entry in dent. It is most performant to
return the maximal amount of directory entries each call. It is
easiest to generate directory entries by using puffs_nextdent(),
which also automatically advances the necessary pointers.
In case end-of-directory is reached, eofflag should be set to one.
Note that even a new call to readdir may start where readoff points
to end-of-directory.
If the file system supports file handles, the arguments cookies and
ncookies must be filled out. cookies is a vector for offsets cor-
responding to read offsets. One cookie should be filled out for
each directory entry. The value of the cookie should equal the
offset of the next directory entry, i.e. which offset should be
passed to readdir for the first entry read to be the entry follow-
ing the current one. ncookies is the number of slots for cookies
in the cookie vector upon entry to the function and must be set to
the amount of cookies stored in the vector (i.e. amount of direc-
tory entries read) upon exit. There is always enough space in the
cookie vector for the maximal number of entries that will fit into
the directory entry buffer. For filling out the vector, the helper
function PUFFS_STORE_DCOOKIE(cookies, ncookies, offset) can be
used. This properly checks against cookies being NULL. Note that
ncookies must be initialized to zero before the first call to
PUFFS_STORE_DCOOKIE().
puffs_node_symlink(pu, opc, pni, pcn_src, va, link_target)
Create a symbolic link into the directory opc with the name in
pcn_src and the initial attributes in va. The argument link_target
contains a null-terminated string for the link target. The created
node cookie should be set in pni.
puffs_node_readlink(pu, opc, pcr, link, linklen)
Read the target of a symbolic link opc. The result is placed in
the buffer pointed to by link. This buffer's length is given in
linklen and it must be updated to reflect the real link length. A
terminating nul character should not be put into the buffer and
must not be included in the link length.
puffs_node_read(pu, opc, buf, offset, resid, pcr, ioflag)
Read the contents of a file opc. It will gather the data from
offset in the file and read the number resid octets. The buffer is
guaranteed to have this much space. The amount of data requested
by resid should be read, except in the case of eof-of-file or an
error. The parameter resid should be set to indicate the amount of
request NOT completed. In the normal case this should be 0.
puffs_node_write(pu, opc, buf, offset, resid, pcr, ioflag)
puffs_node_write() Write data to a file opc at offset and extend
the file if necessary. The number of octets written is indicated
by resid; everything must be written or an error will be generated.
The parameter must be set to indicate the amount of data NOT writ-
ten. In case the flag PUFFS_IO_APPEND is specified, the data
should be appended to the end of the file.
puffs_node_print(pu, opc)
Print information about node. This is used only for kernel-initi-
ated diagnostic purposes.
puffs_node_reclaim(pu, opc)
The kernel will no longer reference the cookie and resources asso-
ciated with it may be freed. In case the file opc has a link count
of zero, it may be safely removed now.
puffs_node_inactive(pu, opc)
The node opc has lost its last reference in the kernel. However,
the cookie must still remain valid until puffs_node_reclaim() is
called.
puffs_setback(pcc, op)
Issue a "setback" operation which will be handled when the request
response is returned to the kernel. Currently this can be only
called from mmap, open, remove and rmdir. The valid parameters for
op are PUFFS_SETBACK_INACT_N1 and PUFFS_SETBACK_INACT_N2. These
signal that a file system mounted with PUFFS_KFLAG_IAONDEMAND
should call the file system inactive method for the specified node.
The node number 1 always means the operation cookie opc, while the
node number 2 can be used to specify the second node argument
present in some methods, e.g. remove.
puffs_newinfo_setcookie(pni, cookie)
Set cookie for node provided by this method to cookie.
puffs_newinfo_setvtype(pni, vtype)
Set the type of the newly located node to vtype. This call is
valid only for lookup() and fhtonode().
puffs_newinfo_setsize(pni, size)
Set the size of the newly located node to size. If left unset, the
value defaults to 0. This call is valid only for lookup() and
fhtovp().
puffs_newinfo_setrdev(pni, rdev)
Set the type of the newly located node to vtype. This call is
valid only for lookup() and fhtovp() producing device type nodes.
